Thanks for the info LVTravel.LVTravel said:Depends on what you mean by Standard Trial and Upgrade!
If you have not activated with a purchased license key the Standard Trial,
you need to totally uninstall it before attempting to install the Office
Professional. If the Office Professional is a full version (not an
upgrade) you can install it after the uninstall of the trial and rebooting
the system.
If the Office Professional version is an upgrade license, you need a
qualifying program (see list of qualifying programs here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/FX101754511033.aspx ) You still
need to uninstall the trial (unless it is converted to a full version of
Office Standard with a key purchase) and reboot before installing the
upgrade version of Office. When the install program asks for a qualifying
product, put the CD of the qualifying product in the CD drive.

The Standard version is a Trial version which Microsoft supplied a product
key good for 60 days.
The Professional Version is a complete version with a licensed product
key.
Either way, I have only one problem with having to uninstall/reinstall. I
don't want to have to reset up Outlook emails/contacts/calendars etc. I
assume a backup of the PST files are a necessary step?
Thanks again,
Scott M.

I seem to have a variation of this issue. I never uninstalled the trial
Home
and Student version that came with the computer. I just installed a
Professional Plus and went from there. I just noticed that all office
updates update both versions. I only want Professional Plus, so how do I
uninstall Home and Student?

The uninstall of the trial should not remove the .pst files but you
should
save them in another location (backup) just in case the worst happens.
Otherwise you should have no issue with the uninstall/reinstall but you
must
uninstall your trial version installation. Good luck.
